This post makes me feel like we've come full circle. All the way around and back to the 2010 9GAG era of memes. Don't get me wrong, though. This makes me nostalgic. It was a simpler time..
Seriously. 2010-ish reddit was a great fucking place.
If I start fucking seeing novelty accounts, I'm fucking out of here, to some far-flung instance with a militant mod.
Memes are going through a cycle similar to art I feel. We started with just basic memes of text on random pictures. Then we got really good at those and we started making meta memes. Then we started contemporary memes: memes that challenge what it even means to be a meme (b and big chungus). And now we are tired of contemporary memes and moving back towards basic memes.
The fact that a sentence starting with "NASCAR is significantly more progressive than" can possibly make sense says a LOT about how society is going these days..
